78 Michigan Parks: Holly Recreation Area #59

After the disappointment of Seven Lakes State Park, we made the short drive over to Holly Recreation Area, which was actually supposed to be the second stop on our park list that day, as it is closer to home than Metamora-Hadley.  But, it was an easy drive, so we visited it first, well second, but you know what I mean.

The road we turned from was a busy one, and the corner was pretty blind, so for safety, We parked a ways down and walked back to get our sign picture.

There were a few other cars in the parking lot, but no one was about on the beach or playground.

William took some time exploring the climbing apparatus, but between his age, and being alone, we didn't stay very long.

I told him he could stay as long as he wanted, but he only lasted a couple minutes after I went to sit in the car (the wind was cold!)

I'd never seen them winterize a park before!  They lean the picnic tables, presumably so the snow slides off, and allows the finish to last longer?

Very picturesque.

On our way to the next park, we saw a road that was very similar to our family name!

This a win for sure!  I think the twins would have really liked the playground too!
